About Had Abbadon, Sicemon & Ton-mummd: Drafting the planets

In this entry I've mentioned names of planets and locations that have appeared in drafts for all the Star Wars Movies. Most of them are - at this moment - no part of the Star Wars Lore. But some of them have found their way into the established Star Wars lore (Dac, Chatos and Utapau being the prime example). I have added new names, with the exception of Utapau because it had been used twice in a draft but never actually been used until 'RotS'. 

I used sources as the Annotated Screenplays & the Insider's Guide cd-rom to complete this blog.
